Back in the late 80’s every Sunday we rode dirt bikes at a reclaimed surface mine, better known as the Strip Pits climbing hills that we named Moses, Mutt&Jeff and 5th gear hill etc…
There would be anywhere from 50-100 ppl riding on any given Sunday. One particular Sunday a dude from Michigan visiting relatives was riding his cousin’s Quadzilla 500 and wanted to tag along so we let him.
He had to take shite later on so we stop while he walked behind a big spoil pile to do his business. The dude come running out from behind it screaming in a northern accent “Jesus Christ these yellow flies are eating my arse up!” Dude shite by a yellow jacket nest in the ground. I was rolling on the ground laughing and the rest of the day we kept saying “ Jesus Christ these yellow flies are eating my arse up!” Never forget that

It’s being reported that 15 outta 16 conference presidents and chancellors have all agreed with the conference that there is a lack of institutional control at lsu and agreed to kick them to the curb if it comes to that.
I’ve never liked Sankey, but he’s smart enough to know not to take lsu on by himself. He’s got the whole conference backing him on this if the reports are true and if that’s the case lsu is in check right now.

I think RCW is a flip of a coin on how he plays in a game.
On one side there the very gifted athlete that can make big game plays that can win ballgames, but then there’s the side that does not like physical contact as far as blocking and keeping his eye on the ball when there’s defenders closing in.
If he’s open on a route and no imminent threats he does well it seems but if he feels he’s gonna get hit hard he loses focus on the ball. Thats what it looks like to me and I’m not sure that can be coached out of him.

In the landscape of college football today it wouldn’t be a surprise if Clemson terminated Dabo, but it also would be a bad look to fire the most successful head coach in the program’s history this quick in the season.
He’s been there over 20yrs and the HC for the biggest part of that and that’s a lifetime for a HC over top 5 program over the last 20yrs. 2015-20 maybe top 2 and the last 5yrs has slipped into what we see today
Dabo’s has done very well for himself at Clemson won a lot of conference titles and 2 natty’s, pretty damn good for a dirt floor poor homeless kid from Alabama that didn’t have a pot to piss in, but all good things come to a end and there no doubt this will be his last yr at Clemson. I hope he leaves with some class and dignity.

The conquering the world part I should have explained a more detailed meaning.
If Germany would have avoided the two front war, Concentrated on the Mediterranean—Malta, North Africa, the Suez Canal, and possibly Middle Eastern oil.
Expanded the U-boat campaign to isolate Britain instead of attempting an impractical cross-Channel invasion.
Avoided declaring war on us after Pearl, Strengthened defenses and
Consolidated territory the Krauts already occupied.
As we know Hitler never had a very good understanding and knowledge on how to wage war. He thought it was so easy the way they conquered Europe that his military was invincible without understanding it was the brilliance of the military high command and the advanced military weapons the scientists engineered to wage war.
You know if he would have listened to his brightest military minds instead of listening to his pet monkeys things would be a lot different. They had conquered enough to be able to grow even more economically, politically and the biggest reason militarily.
The weapons that the scientists was developing was way ahead of its time. The ME262 alone was a game changer. The V1& V2 cruise and long range ballistic missiles, First operational jet bomber, guided surface to air missile and a lot of other shite that was in development.
Thank god he didn’t listen to his smartest minds. If they would have stopped and regrouped and rebuilt and developed what they had in a 3yr time frame I’m not sure anybody would have had the advanced technology to match them

My thoughts: I think you're both half right. Amarillo, the "better weapons" part is iffy. The French and British had more tanks in May 1940, and the Char B1 and Somua S35 outgunned and out-armored most of what the Germans fielded. The real German edges were radios in every tank, a Luftwaffe built for close support, and concentrating their armor into panzer divisions instead of spreading it out in infantry support. The Maginot Line also did its job: it shut the direct route and pushed the Germans into Belgium, which is exactly what it was for. The failure was the Dyle plan sending the best French armies deep into Belgium, leaving the Ardennes hinge to reserve divisions, and keeping no strategic reserve at all. Once Guderian was over the Meuse at Sedan, a headquarters with no radio and a 1918 mindset just couldn't react at the speed required
Maurice Gamelin CinC and General Alphonse Georges commander of the northeast front got totally out played on strategy and deception. It was a master class on modern warfare by brilliant tactical planning by General Erich von Manstein. He engineered the concept of the plan knowing exactly what Gamelin would do.
Without going to deep in explaining this I’ll cut it short by saying it was probably the worst frick up a European General ever ordered. It only took those Kraut bastard’s 10 days to reach the channel.
The Allied armies in the north were now largely cut off from the rest of France.
It was over that fast and that quick, Europe was lost. The French had more than enough forces capable of repelling Jerry. What they didn’t have was generals that studied the art of war on a level Ole Fritz took it too.
I think ppl often forget how powerful a fighting force the third reich engineered. It’s pretty damn scary what they almost accomplished considering how beaten and destroyed Germany was after the first world war. 20yrs later they came damn close of conquering the world. And in return it showed us how to become the most lethal military force ever created known to mankind. Strange how things evolve sometimes and shapes the world

I’ve subscribed to about 15 but not sports related, I can pretty much catchup of Bama news here.
Content creators I watch along the lines of Billy Lane, Honest Outlaw and mainly Fabrication type content on car builds and bikes and woodworking. I’m a gear head so anything in that area and especially tools.
I’ve picked up a lot of good information and ideas and new ways to layout and plan builds. I don’t really watch TV shows or movies if I watch anything it’s what I listed of above besides Bama sports during the season.

I’m not sure who this guy is but I suspect he’s like most content creators on YouTube and they all claim to have a finger on the pulse.
He’s not going out on a limb with that prediction and most on here probably know Russell will be the starter more than likely.
If Mack hasn’t separated himself by now as the clear Ace then Russell must be living up to the hype. I’m more concerned with the trenches in front of them.

You failed to mention Alabama became the first team in SEC history to defeat four consecutive AP Top 25 ranked opponents in four straight regular-season weeks without a bye week or break in between.
Mud/Steam drums are mainly package boilers. Paper mills mainly but these units produce mainly wet steam. Dry steam is a totally different beast.
When you get into the high megawatt boilers like Cumberland City Tennessee that’s 1650Mw I believe, they don’t have mud/steam drums they have wet bottoms. These boilers are massive in size. Most common boilers start at 650mw and up.

I worked in that industry for a long time. I’ve worked on fossil fuel power plants, Nukes, and basically all types of boiler units that produce power.
Eventually the components will wear out of course due to the enormous amount of heat and especially pressure that’s exerted.
Penthouse Headers lifespans run from 30/50yrs depending on how hard you run the unit, but they are designed to be replaced and I’ve help replace quite a few. It’s no big deal, usually about 10/12wks outage.
Everything on a fossil fuel boiler unit is designed to be replaced. Water walls, super heats, pendant tubes, economizer tubes, reheat tubes, the list goes on and on is all designed to be repaired.

Did you work in that industry before? What part of a coal fired boiler wears out that ends it’s lifecycle?

These numbers are from February 10th 2022 during Bidens reign.
Let’s take a look: (glasses on)
Energy prices up 27% from a year ago.
Gas up 39.9%
Fuel up 40%
Electricity up 14%
Natural gas up 23.9%
Home prices/shelter up 4.4%
New car prices up 12.2%
Lol…. Used car prices UP 40%
The 10 year treasury is at a 2 year high showing people are leaving the market.
INFLATION TO 7.5%. THE HIGHEST IN 40 YEARS.
These numbers are from the Labor Department before you start with that.
What’s inflation right now? 3.30
You liberals or RINO’s or whatever pronouns you might go by are very very quick to forget what a disaster those 4yrs was and how (including you) we all suffered.

I believe what you’re seeing now is a War of Attrition or Slow Warfare. It’s grinding their economy to a halt. No resources left to effectively wage war.
They’re basically asking the citizens to dig in deeper because things are going to get a lot worse for them. They’re asking the ppl that they’ve tortured and murdered to help them now, how you think that’s fixing workout.
War of Attrition if you can gain this over your enemies it’s only a matter of time before they wither on the vine.

You’re assuming the commanders in charge of these operations are not well informed on what’s going on inside the IRGC and what the next move is. And you also must think they need to be total transparent on strategic planning.
We can play devils advocate’s. If you was in charge of the IRGC military that would make you pretty much the man in charge. You have all the weapons and power to take out anyone that opposes you for power and control.
What would you do now that your military has all but been destroyed to wage war. What’s left to give yourself any leverage to stay in control over the Iranian people that you’ve murdered and executed without mercy for almost 50yrs? When the end is near what would you do knowing your a dead man either making a deal or fighting to the end?
Lay waste to every thing and leave nothing intact. Cause as much damage to recovery as humanly possible and burn it all down without any remorse what so ever. That’s what radicals do. That what Saddam did when his army was wipe off the face of the earth
Maybe that’s what’s going on right now and maybe we’re stalling also to give the citizens a chance to get organized, maybe covertly arming them as much as possible to have a fighting chance and instill some courage in them with clandestine units that’s been in place helping organize it.
Things are being done on a surgical level it seems. And that requires patience sometimes instead of brut force. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening but there’s also more going on than we know.

These allies you think we have are compromised now. Look at Europe and tell me what you see now.
Evidently ppl like you believe or convinced yourself that you understand what needs to be the next move. I’ll trust the commanders in charge of the strategic planning and decision making. I’m pretty sure they’ve shown they’re more than qualified on surgical dismantling IRGC.

Who’s our allies? NATO? If that’s who you’re calling our allies where the frick have you been the last 2 months. :lol:
Dark blue city’s are basically enemies at the gates right now. I agree with your accepting the consequences for ones actions. I think we all have our strong beliefs of lines and boundaries once crossed you’re willing to accept the consequences.
Exactly… it’s the NS. It’s not like Adm. Cooper going awol or giving the IRGC the plans for invasion.
No need to panic. You act is if they will be looking for a replacement on Indeed or something. Bidens administration most likely, but not this one.
If I remember correctly, you was all for NIL and players having the right to hit the portal to better their financial future.
All this hate towards Downs is whining to the extreme like a spoilt brat. I don’t believe he’s ever said one negative thing about Bama.
But now he’s lowdown to the core because he has no loyalty to Bama and stab his teammates in the back by leaving.
Grow the frick up. Downs made a grown man decision like most men do when it come to financial gains. You was all for players making the dollars but I get it, Downs hurt your little feelings and you’re crying about it :violin:
